About Packagist
Packagist is the main composer repository. It aggregates public PHP packages installable with Composer. Put a file named composer.json at the root of your project, containing your project dependencies. Packagist is the default Composer package repository. It lets you find packages and lets Composer know where to get the code from. You can use Composer to manage your project or libraries' dependencies. First of all, you must pick a package name. This is a very important step since it can not change and it should be unique enough to avoid conflicts in the future. The package name consists of a vendor name and a project name joined by a/. The vendor name exists to prevent naming conflicts. The composer.json file should reside at the top of your package's git/svn/ repository and is the way you describe your package to both packagist and composer. New versions of your package are automatically fetched from tags you create in your VCS repository.

Rails Assets
Rails Assets is the frictionless proxy between Bundler and Bower. It automatically converts the packaged components into gems that are easily droppable into your asset pipeline and stay up to date. First, make sure you use bundler >= 1.8.4. Add Rails Assets as a new gem source, then reference any Bower components that you need as gems. In development, if you have issues with SSL certificates and security is not a priority, you can use the alternate endpoint instead. During bundle install, if Bundler requests a package like this, Rails Assets’ daemon automatically will fetch the component from Bower’s registry, analyze its manifest file, bower.json, repackage the component as a valid Ruby gem and serve it to your application. Dependencies are handled the same way recursively. Gems created by Rails Assets work great with any Sprockets-based application. It works with Sinatra too!

Bower
Web sites are made of lots of things, frameworks, libraries, assets, and utilities. Bower manages all these things for you. Keeping track of all these packages and making sure they are up to date (or set to the specific versions you need) is tricky. Bower to the rescue! Bower can manage components that contain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, or even image files. Bower doesn’t concatenate or minify code or do anything else, it just installs the right versions of the packages you need and their dependencies. To get started, Bower works by fetching and installing packages from all over, taking care of hunting, finding, downloading, and saving the stuff you’re looking for. Bower keeps track of these packages in a manifest file, bower.json. How you use packages is up to you. Bower provides hooks to facilitate using packages in your tools and workflows. Bower is optimized for the front-end. If multiple packages depend on a package, jQuery, for example, Bower will download jQuery just once.
